Phil Klay's Redeployment and War Rhetoric as Literature for Use

Résumé du livre

This essay focuses on Phil Klay's collection of short stories about the Iraq War, Redeployment, as a piece of war rhetoric. I examine it as a proponent of serious engagement with war and explicate the text specifically as it discusses disconnect. I will discuss disconnect in greater detail shortly, but first, allow me to suggest that the consideration of war literature, like Klay's, as persuasive rhetoric is important because of the degree to which it informs civilians perceptions and opinions.
